On Tuesday evening, Fox News host Sean Hannity went ballistic against John Fetterman, the Democratic candidate running for Senate in Pennsylvania, and even threatened a lawsuit against him.

Remember when "news" anchors weren't supposed to be "involved" in actual campaigns? Hannity just appointed himself the savior of the Oz campaign.

In a long-winded rant, Hannity hyperventilated his usual dance against what he calls a Bernie Sanders acolyte, claiming Fetterman never had a job in his life, etc.

Hannity opened the segment, "Washington outsider Dr. Oz and lifelong, part-time, government worker, trust fund brat, John Fetterman."

"He lived off mommy and daddy, " Hannity said.

The only strategies Republicans use these days are teenage schoolyard rank-outs.

The NY Times reported that Trump received, "$413 million from his father over the decades -- [Trump] was earning $200,000 a year in today’s dollars at the age of 3," Sean.

Fetterman has an MBA from the University of Connecticut and then was the Mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, from 2006 to 2019. To Hannity, being Mayor doesn't count as a job.

After playing a short clip of Fetterman, Hannity revved up his anger.

“As of now, the Fetterman campaign is refusing to debate Doctor Oz, also refusing my invitation to appear here on the program as he and his campaign have been lying about me, raising money off of my name. He apparently sent yet another fundraising text, attacking me, lying about me, calling me a liar. Every day he lies about me, I’ll continue to tell the truth about his radical, extreme positions way out of touch...”

The Fox News host then threatened legal action against Fetterman.

“By the way, my trust fund brat friend, when you attack me, I will attack you back 10 to 100 times harder — because you’re a lying loser and raising money for your losing campaign, he may be hearing from my lawyers very shortly. He better hope that mommy and daddy have enough money to pay his legal bills.”

What a snowflake. Every day Sean Hannity smears and attacks Democratic politicians with unfounded claims and outright lies.

Hillary Clinton would like a word, Sean.

Hannity must be scared that Dr. Oz's campaign is going down the drain.

Dr. Oz has been a permanent fixture on Hannity's program, as Fox News continues its role of being a major campaign arm of the GOP.

It's a toss-up whether he or Herschel Walker has a more embarrassing Senate campaign.
